FocusableSample

@Composable

    // initialize focus reference to be able to request focus programmatically
    val focusRequester = remember { FocusRequester() }
    // MutableInteractionSource to track changes of the component's interactions (like "focused")
    val interactionSource = remember { MutableInteractionSource() }

    // text below will change when we focus it via button click
    val isFocused = interactionSource.collectIsFocusedAsState().value
    val text =
        if (isFocused) {
            "Focused! tap anywhere to free the focus"
        } else {
            "Bring focus to me by tapping the button below!"
        }
    Column {
        // this Text will change it's text parameter depending on the presence of a focus
        Text(
            text = text,
            modifier =
                Modifier
                    // add focusRequester modifier before the focusable (or even in the parent)
                    .focusRequester(focusRequester)
                    .focusable(interactionSource = interactionSource)
        )
